What sort of society would evolve in a generation ship on a centuries long voyage?

What would happen if this generation ship reaches it's destination only to discover the world they set out to colonize has developed a civilization of its own due to time dilation making the voyage way longer to people on the ground.

>>45222420Interestingly, the series Last Exile takes place on a generation ship.

They basically set things up so there is a "supervisor" race, which is enhanced to be smart and incorruptible and an arbiter for any conflict that happens within. There ends up being competing factions within the ship, and the supervisor race gets corrupted, and all hell breaks loose obviously.

It probably depends on the size of the ship. If it's big enough, you might get some kind of tribalization and divergent evolution...Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

A village forms near the Lavafathers shipyard, loyal Stonestars migrating to assist in the construction. Pylons of white bone and dark stone rise up, armatures swing through the air carrying carved stone and metal constructing the very first of the prototype ships for the Obsidianborn.

Stonestars watch in amazement as a large bowl of black stone levitates itself from the ground, an Obsidianborn standing on top to manipulate the hovering device. A Think Tank floats through the testing efforts, passing by a weapon that gathers a glowing orb of molten magma from a nearby...Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>45221078Completed Research:>Hunter Squid: A large predatory cephalopod that was at the top of the food chain in open waters. Relying on it's colorshifting to sneak up on prey before jetting forward with a burst of it's powerful siphon it attacks while flashing an intense array of colors to disorient and confuse. It's body comprised of a large conical shell of light but durable bone-like material with an cluster of six barbed limbs capable of extending nearly twice their resting length.

>>45221261Unlocked:>Siphon Jet: A powerful organ capable of sucking in both water or air to propel a unit rapidly in short bursts. Provides a powerful boost in speed as long as submerged in liquid or within a pressurized zero-g environment. Outside of aquatic environments a unit would need a mode of levitation or flight to effectively use it when affected by gravity.

>>45221834The original mood and style was a /tg/ soup (with MEATBREAD side) of everything the original fa/tg/uy liked at the time. The fluffing of the brew is meant to be other stuff /tg/ers like, and try to complement the flavor of the original. (Imagine if every part of a meal you had was over-salted.)

The only think I can point at and say 'Not TG!' is the Mobian, because of Sonichu.

Considering the original offers adaptations to the original exaltations, I would expect storymasters/GMs to be able...Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

You manage surprisingly well. Admittedly, much of your success can be attributed to the dogs, but even so. Your careful tracking brings you close to the herd and you can feel the breeze on your skin well enough to get downwind of them, sneaking closer and closer. Then, you give a piercing whistle and the dogs sprint away, fanning out and barking, dividing the herd and driving part of it towards you. You do not trust your sightless aim enough to react swiftly and hurl your javelin as you ordinarily would, however with your...Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>45217682Actually, it's just two. Everyone assumed it was three, but three times Sera's weight isn't the same thing. Come to that though, your most accurate measurement right now is, "Feels about right."

>>45201058Scribbles had been so eager to start the interview that she almost got murdered by the medics for attempting to bribe you with coffee for it. The author is surprisingly respectful in her eagerness; she asks you about your childhood and your family, and is solemn when you reach the bad parts, as you knew you were going to.

You leave nothing out, though you do sometimes have to stop to rest and/or sleep. She uses those times to interview others that have been involved; somehow she's brought almost as many...Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Alright folks, I just barely managed to get this up before I had to go to work. I will, again, be somewhat late getting back - after 1 AM EST, if not later. Votes will remain open in the meantime.

As always questions, comments, feedback, critique & theories are welcome and appreciated. I realize I left out stuff with Diving Shadow here, for which I apologize, but be assured that something will be happening there before Bri leaves the level.

>>45200320I play a rip-and-tear, no-armor soldier/barbarian. Greatsword, tough hide, pretty sick. We're tooling around in an airship, in the midst of a dragon-powered chinese war trying to stop the war and getting really worried because it sounds like the gods themselves are getting involved in it. (And we're trying to stop it. And people don't usually win when arguing with gods.)

Very fun, very straightforward, very killy. Having to social shit as someone who would prefer to solve things with her sword...Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Fantasy Craft is a d20 P&P RPG using the OGL. It's geared towards cinematic play where every character can contribute, with solid mechanics designed to give groups lots of flexibility to tailor games to individual preferences. Rather than just a set of bolt-on additions to the OGL d20 system, Fantasy Craft tears it all down and rebuilds from the ground up, steering clear of the major pitfalls of other OGL games and aiming...Comment too long.

>Human Fighter Burglar in a caveman game.He's honestly the more levelheaded of the group but also the weirder one, mostly in the eye of the Martial Artist who thinks being noticed is the most important thing in the world. Also very snarky.

Whelp, last thread got deleted, probably cause we were trying to world build in a fetish thread

But I liked the idea so lets continue

What we have so far>Space opera setting, a general mishmash of soft scifi/space tropes, first contact was a while ago and it's been long enough since then so lots of races have intermingled, particularly on major trading hubs and space stations.
